Pre-processing the Hi-C matrices

Description

Format pairs of Hi-C matrices, smooth the matrices with matrix resolution, and maximum distance of interaction considering specified by user, filter out the bins that has no reads in both replciates.

Usage

prep(R1, R2, resol, h, max)

Arguments

R1

a Hi-C intra-chromosome matrix.

R2

the other intra-chromosome matrix to compare with.

resol

an integer indicating the resolution of the Hi-C matrix.

h

an integer indicating the size of the smoothing neighborhood.

max

an integer indicating the maximum distance of interaction that is considered.

Value

a smoothed (or not when resol = 0), zero-filtered and vectorized Hi-C data. The first two columns are bin start and bin ends, and the last two columns are reads number if replicate 1 and replicate 2 respectively.
